Bolster Application Security with VMware AppDefense

VMware AppDefense is a data center endpoint security product that protects applications running in virtualized environments. Rather than chasing after threats, AppDefense understands an application's intended state and behavior, then monitors for changes to that intended state that indicate a threat. When a threat is detected, AppDefense automatically responds.

What AppDefense Does

Application-Centric Alerting for the Security Operations Center (SOC)

AppDefense doesn’t produce a lot of alerts, but when it raises the alarm it’s smart to listen. The authoritative alerts generated by AppDefense coupled with automated response capabilities allow the SOC to focus on catching and eradicating threats from their environment, rather than sifting through noisy data and investigating threats that aren’t there.

Transforming Application Security Readiness Reviews

In the world of modern application development, applications are launched, changed, and decommissioned rapidly. By the time a security team learns of the existence of a new application, it has often already changed. AppDefense creates a common source of truth between application teams and the security teams, streamlining the security review and readiness process.

FEATURES

Multi-Cloud, Multi-Site Networking and Security

NSX Cloud brings networking and security capabilities to endpoints across multiple clouds. By integrating with NSX Data Center, it enables networking and security management across clouds and data center sites.

Micro-Segmentation

NSX Cloud provides control over East-West traffic between application workloads running natively in public clouds.

Security Groups

Security groups and rules can be defined based on rich policy constructs, such as instance name, OS type, AMI ID, and user-defined tags.

Dynamic Policy

Security policy is automatically applied and enforced based on instance attributes and user-defined tags. Policies automatically follow instances when they are moved within and across clouds.

Quarantine Instances

You can quarantine rogue and compromised workloads that are running in the public cloud without micro-segmentation security. Quarantined instances are prevented from communicating on the cloud network.

Distributed Architecture

A distributed firewalling architecture eliminates additional network hops and traffic because policies are enforced at the virtual network interface of each instance, rather than routed through an external firewall.

Edge Firewalling

Stateful firewalling filters North-South traffic flowing between instances in virtual networks and the public Internet.

RESTful API

RESTful API and automation tools help to programmatically provision and configure networking and security infrastructure on-demand.

Templating

Use existing automation and orchestration tools to create standardized application templates, and simplify provisioning and management of networking and security services across public clouds.

East-West Traffic Visibility

Use existing Day 2 operations tools to gain visibility into East-West traffic within and across virtual private clouds.

Security Logging

Gain real-time visibility and auditing of security events such as allows/denies and quarantine incidents. Send security event information to a Syslog or SIEM server.

What Horizon Does

Delivers Desktops and Applications through a Single Platform
